I've said this before, but the truly terrifying thing is how very close Trump and Giuliani and Sondland came to succeeding. Zelensky had scheduled the interview with CNN! If the plot hadn't been revealed before then, we'd be in a completely different world right now.

The press would never have been able to untangle what occurred. In short, it would have worked.— Susan Hennessey (@Susan_Hennessey) December 5, 2019
